The warrant authorizing the raid on Breonna Taylor was part of a Louisville gentrification plan: lawsuit

Snip

Police had the man in custody that they were seeking for a narcotics investigation, but a judge still authorized a warrant for Breonna Taylor’s apartment. The raid was because police said that the person they had in custody was getting mail at the Taylor apartment.

A U.S. postal inspector in Louisville, however, told WDRB News that LMPD didn’t use his office to verify that Glover was receiving packages at Taylor’s apartment and that a different agency had asked in January to look into whether Taylor’s home was receiving suspicious mail,” the Courier-Journal said. “The office had concluded it wasn’t.”

According to the Courier-Journal, however, the lawsuit against the police officers can be linked to a gentrification plan that the city of Louisville outlined to change the face of the city....

“Breonna’s home should never have had police there in the first place,” attorneys wrote in the filing. “When the layers are peeled back, the origin of Breonna’s home being raided by police starts with a political need to clear out a street for a large real estate development project and finishes with a newly formed, rogue police unit violating all levels of policy, protocol, and policing standards.”
